I had one of those as well - branded DeLonghi - it had a channel around the edge for excess grease - which was handy when frying sausage
patties or bacon. It also worked for grille sandwiches, pancakes (two
at a time) and many other things.

Sounds like the one I had. I asked Andrea last night and she says we
got rid of it a few moves back. Her best guess is at least 15 years
ago when we started apartment living.

And since Bella seems to be Best Buy's "house" brand I believe I'll go look over there. Bv)>

Best Buy showed a similar unit at the same price. But without the copper ceramic non-stick surface. I'll go with Amazon if I get one.

Good price, they do come in handy. But my kitchen is so small I'd have
to build a cover for the sink for enough counter space to set one up.
I need to get someone to build me a cover for the stove so it becomes counter space. - I once drove someone who built them for people but
I lost the phone number and haven't seen them since.

Do you know/have access to any places that build counter tops? Get a
"sink cut out" of the appropriate size and some 1" X 2" furring strips
of white pine, some wood screws/glue and make your own. The cut-out is
going to have a Formica surface on pressed sawdust particle board so
it will be easy clean ups and fairly portable.
